Blue Mounds State Park

Difficulty: EASY-MODERATE Cost: ($8/vehicle)

Blue Mounds State Park is located in the driftless region in Blue Mounds, WI and is open year round from 6am-11pm. At Blue Mounds State Park, you can find hiking, look-outs, a picnic shelter, a brand new playground, camping and even a pool!

We headed to Blue Mounds one afternoon spontaneously, and were surprised by all that they have to offer. I was able to wrangle two toddlers, although I avoided the look-out structure with them. This park is extremely family-friendly and you could easily spend an entire weekend here instead of an afternoon. It has beautiful hiking and lots of fun features.
